So many emotions running through me right now as I watched the YouTube vid. This program used to hold mum and then-favourite cousin, Adaego spellbound every week (I believe it used to run every Wednesday or Thursday night, if I'm not mistaken). They are both late now, which heightened my sadness. Wondering how they'd have reacted if I showed them this video. 4 Likes |

Racoon: Can't forget Checkmate but Fortunes will always be my number one. Can't forget Ripples either or Behind the Clouds. Nonso I heard is late. None of the soaps they do now can hold a candle to any of these. 1 Like |

Wow, i was narrating this series to my wife and kids last sunday while watching Ego Boyo and RMD on Mr X Family drama. Remembered how Segun Kadiri would always rub the side of his nose with his index finger,his coarse voice and very mean attitude. Bobmanuel was very young then! Good old days!! 1 Like |

Nostalgic indeed. HALITA is even more fantastic and the only series worth watching on DSTV, others are recycled stories, actors and producers. |

Racoon: I was in Junior Secondary then. They used to show it on Thursday evenings. I remember Friday gists is never complete if we haven't discussed Checkmate. Then, electricity was constant. Even though we no get gen, we hardly ever miss it. 1 Like |

The mother of them all was behind the cloud, with such names as the late Nosa, bayo, funmi, hajia governmeti, mallam, Bawa, Lantana among others. Do we also remember Mr B and company, directed by the late Ken Saro wiwa, and Osofia being one of the script writers then. The good old days indeed. |
